Summary:
In The Dutch Urban Block, Susanne Komossa uses typomorphological research to analyse the development of the Dutch urban block as an architectural model for the past four hundred years. The urban block is the link between city dwellers' everyday lives and the urban public realm. This amply documented study calls for the small-scale urban economy and the public realm to be treated as essential components of the city when new urban plans and models are developed.

Summary:
Le logement en France est-il plus cher, moins bien conçu, moins bien construit, moins bien fini qu’ailleurs en Europe ? Un seul OUI serait caricatural et trop généraliste.

Summary:
Le logement en France est-il plus cher, moins bien conçu, moins bien construit, moins bien fini qu’ailleurs en Europe ? Un seul OUI serait caricatural et trop généraliste. Pourtant, les comparaisons fréquentes apportées par les architectes français travaillant à l’étranger et les architectes étrangers impliqués dans des projets français se rejoignent sur certains points. C’est pour en vérifier la pertinence et pour pousser plus loin la réflexion que, pour la deuxième année consécutive, après Housing Platform 1, à l’initiative d’ING Real Estate Development France avec le soutien du Pavillon de l’Arsenal, rejoint en 2009 par la Fédération des Promoteurs Constructeurs d’Île-de-France, s’est tenue Housing Platform 2. Cette manifestation qui se déroulait le 23 novembre 2009 a réuni autour de cinq tables rondes une soixantaine de professionnels, parmi lesquels des aménageurs, des maîtres d’ouvrage, des promoteurs, des architectes, des entreprises, des ingénieurs, des économistes...

Summary:
Housing Density Housing construction for the greatest number is an indicator of the social character of a society. Most people want to live in a single-family house. Is it possible to realize the qualities of single-family housing in high-density construction? Almost 400 students of the Vienna University of Technology worked on this topic in the course of a design studio and – supervised by fourteen renowned Austrian architects – developed housing construction projects of various densities and environments. Selected works indicate the direction, but also the limits (of growth). With contributions by Silvia Boday, Marlies Breuss, Eva Ceška, Maria Flöckner, Susanne Fritzer, Katharina Fröch, Kinayeh Geiswinkler-Aziz, Gerda Maria Gerner, Feria Gharakhanzadeh, Adele Gindlstrasser, Ulrike Hausdorf, Franziska Orso, Ursula Schneider and Martina Schöberl.Two interviews with Harry Glück and Roland Rainer, conducted by Gerhard Steixner and Maria Welzig, introduce this topic to the reader by documenting contrasting concepts of horizontal and vertical densification in housing construction.

Summary:
Our home is now in the city which is compacted and mixed up, which grows inwards and is renewed. We are returning to the historic city, to the modern city, to the post-industrial city, we are re-densifying the expansive city of the last decade. We are regenerating the narrow plots of the medieval urban grids, the 19th century urban extensions and the new-old cities of the 60s. We are returning to the built-up city driven by the need to save on resources, but this return cannot be a reluctant one. Density is Home echoes these types of city -dispersed, expansive, modern, the core of the city and the recycled city- through 37 projects on collective housing. 14 case studies have been extracted among them in order to analyze the desirable home.
